Lessons and Resources to Support Pearson ReadyGEN, Grade 4

ThinkCERCA provides an alignment to Pearson’s integrated literacy program, ReadyGEN. The ThinkCERCA aligned differentiated lesson sets (including Direct Instruction, Applied Reading and Writing, and Additional Reading Practice) support the Common Core instructional shifts that ReadyGEN was designed to meet. Additional Direct Instruction resources are provided as an extra support for skills critical for success with the topics and themes required of students in the ReadyGEN curriculum.
